The_Decryptor Veteran Posted April 27, 2005 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2005 Wow! That is a really disgusting interface. ... After a second look, maybe it's the OVERLY LARGE "send" button. Good grief, if they did some usability testing I am sure they would find most people use the "enter key" for sending instant messages anyway. That button's size is just unnecessarily awkward. 585835979[/snapback] Yeah, the send button is too big. :x And, i hope they possibly allow changing between metal and normal, and possibly the new style on tiger. Cause i really dont like the brushed metal. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureLogic Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) Haha I kinda like the new interface, it's waaaaayyyyy better than the one MSN Messenger 4 is using. @divinatum Actually I find the 1 billion preference options in Adium more horrible than MSN Messenger for Mac.

Vice Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Just use adium 0.8beta. the current version of MSN for mac is horrible, and I expect this release to be trash too. 585836134[/snapback] Yes lets use Adium which will not allow you to unblock contacts, limits your upload to 5kbps when sending files, has a few second lag when sending msgs to other people i.e. 2 - 3 seconds after you send a msg they then receive it (I have had lots of complaints from my contacts about this) and has so many preferences even I think "wtf..". Microsoft designed MSN and we want an official client not some half assed attempt by a 3rd party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DELETEMYACCOUNTTTTTTTT Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 lol, I've never heard of people complain about too many features. I use Adium, love adium, and have tried the official clients for AIM, MSN, and Y! on OS X. Adium is volumes better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of you have used MsgPlus! on Windows for MSN Messenger (www.msgplus.net) the way it lays out its configuration menu is the best I have ever seen on any application on any platform period.

I happen to like the customisation aspect of it, but I can understand that some people might just want a client that works. Oh, and the new betas handle blocking/unblocking pretty well for me, and my file transfers usually peak at around 12kb/s. Not amazing, but an improvement.

PureLogic Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Did they equip Adium with a proper contact list already or does it still exists out of a few floating bubbles on the desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Did they equip Adium with a proper contact list already or does it still exists out of a few floating bubbles on the desktop? 585840990[/snapback] Just another one of the million preferences you can change. I would love adium if they would quit spending their time making up new features and just make the damn thing work consistently. The 'cool' effect of the software runs out after about the 5th crash, or the 3rd time you need to do something it doesn't support/impletment correctly like blocking, file sending, etc...
